being spoiled by GSL money, the prize pool isn't anywhere near to Mondragon's return. I just hope he's able to put up a fight and won't pull TSL2 Draco :/

Mondragon, been a fan of him since for fucking ever, i know he's been playing SC2 for a while but to have him play in tournaments is the only thing i was missing from SC2.

Don't really like much the Korean invites I think they should have made the invitational slots not only for Korea but for top players outside of it as well.

It was a toss up between Mondragon returning and the teaser video (which is always very well done). I picked the teaser because it sticks out like a sore thumb. Glider never fails to impress (picture perfect) and the music sold me right away. I knew the prize pool would be bigger than the last one, so its not that much of a surprise, but Tyler's mugshot is just too good.

With that said, Mondragon's dominance over the foreigner scene is something unparalleled. He has been at the top longer than anybody else. He is a God amongst men.

Any body knows if Mondragon is any good? It will be so sad if he gets destroyed. He was definitely my favorite foreign zerg (I would've said player but that goes to Noony).

Mondragon. The only thing I could imagine being even better is Mondragon winning the $15k in New York against a Korean and someone doing a speeddrawind of his face afterwards.

3100 rating is solid. But Mondragon is one of those players with infinite potential. He also has connections with some of the best SC2 players at the moment (off the top of my head - Ret and Haypro). If he takes advantage of his resources, I have no doubt that he will be a serious contender.
